Dealing with anniversaries

Hi. This time last year I found a lump in my boob and was shortly later diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. I was luck that it was caught early, I had a lumpectomy and then a week course of radiotherapy. I’m on annual mammograms until I’m 50. 

I had the best out come possible but today I’m emotional and anxious and feel like I want to burst into tears. I feel so guilty I feel like this as I have had so easy and good going through this blip in my life I don’t really have a reason to be down. 

im trying to snap out of it and give myself a good talking to but I just got get out of this feeling

thank you for reading xx

  • Hi lou121e, Can I just say thank you for this. This is exactly where I am now.I'm just having my 1 year check for bowel cancer and it's actually just hit me. I tried for so long to be strong for those around me when I had the cancer. I've been an emotional wreck the past few weeks and have similar feelings to yours. It's good to know it's normal to feel like this. 

  • Hello AvrilJane. Sorry you struggling. It's awful isn't it. Hopefully after your tests and results you will be able to move on a bit. The mood swings still kick in but at least it one year down the line and the future is in front. Try and enjoy every day and put the emotions to the back of your mind. Wishing you every good wishes.
